| | Surname | Malcolmson | | | First names | John Grant | | | Rank/ occupation | Doctor | | | Death date | 23 Mar 1844 | | | Place of death | Dhoolia  | | | Source | Gentleman's Magazine |  | Edition | July 1844 | | | Page number | 98 | | | Detail | At Dhoolia, John Grant Malcolmson, M.D. His medical and scientific character stood high in India, and many interesting papers from his pen have appeared during the last fourteen years in Prinsep’s Journal, the Journal of the Bengal Asiatic Society, the London Asiatic Society, the Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal, the British and Foreign Medical Review, and that of the London Geological Society, in which last-named science he was an ardent and successful labourer, and explored not only an interesting portion of Scotland during a home-visit about four years ago, but also a considerable tract of Egypt, and a very wide sphere of Indian investigation. He was connected with the patriotic and liberal house of Sir Charles Forbes at Bombay, and contributed greatly to the establishment of the Museum, and the progress of literature and science which so honourably distinguishes that presidency. He left Bombay in the first week of February, and on his arrival at Surat immediately proceeded up the line of the Taptee into the jungles towards Dhoolia. On the 27th of February he was seized with the jungle-fever, and had a long journey before him with only Bheel attendants. On the 19th of March he wrote a cheerful letter, when about forty miles from Dhoolia, and represented himself as much recovered; but the symptoms were fallacious, and notwithstanding the cares of Dr Hathorn, who attended him during the last four days, he sank on the evening of the 23rd, and thus closed a bright scientific career in the midst of its toils and dangers. |
